Univision Radio and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® Unite To Raise Awareness For National Fundraiser To Find Cures, Save Children

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza® (Promise and Hope), an initiative by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® and Univision Radio, the leading radio network serving Hispanic America, partner to increase awareness for national fundraiser against childhood cancer. As part of this partnership, Univision Radio will broadcast special programming on February 10 and 11 asking listeners to become Angeles de Esperanza (Angels of Hope) by making a donation of $20 per month, to find cures and save children.

Univision Radio stations in 17 participating cities across the U.S. and Puerto Rico will share more than 30 hours of programming to support St. Jude. The support of the radio listeners is instrumental to the cause as the majority of the funding comes from individual contributors. Their donations allow St. Jude the freedom to focus on what matters most – saving kids regardless of their families' financial situation.

"St. Jude Children's Research Hospital strives to find innovative research treatments and breakthroughs that are essential to help thousands of ill children win their fight against childhood cancer," said Randy Falco, president and CEO, Univision Communications Inc. "Univision is proud to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude and we are most appreciative of our audience whose generosity helps provide hope to St. Jude patients and their families."

During the week, listeners will have the opportunity to share the love with the kids of St. Jude and make a donation using a debit or credit by calling 1-800-998-8432 or visiting promesayesperanza.org. Fans can join the conversation on Twitter and Facebook via @StJude and using the hashtags #StJudeUnivision.

"We cannot say thank you enough to Univision Radio and its loyal listeners for supporting the fight against childhood cancer. Their donations make our mission possible," said Richard Shadyac Jr., CEO of ALSAC/St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "Univision Radio's dedication of its programming to share the St. Jude story during these two days reflects the commitment of the Hispanic community to helping St. Jude find cures and save children."

The St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza radio event also will be supported by Univision's portfolio of media platforms, including its local television stations, online, mobile and social media in addition to Univision America, Univision Radio's AM radio network. Each platform will use the official hashtag #StJudeUnivision to promote the event.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. St. Jude has the world's best survival rates for the most aggressive childhood cancers, and treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since we opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent in the next decade. St. Jude freely shares the breakthroughs we make, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing and food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Join the St. Jude mission by visiting stjude.org or following St. Jude on facebook.com/stjude and twitter.com/stjude.

The standardization of container runtimes and images has sparked the creation of an almost overwhelming number of new open source projects that build on and otherwise work with these specifications. Of course, there's Kubernetes, which orchestrates and manages collections of containers. It was one of the first and best-known examples of projects that make containers truly useful for production use. However, more recently, the container ecosystem has truly exploded. A service mesh like Istio addr...

Predicting the future has never been more challenging - not because of the lack of data but because of the flood of ungoverned and risk laden information. Microsoft states that 2.5 exabytes of data are created every day. Expectations and reliance on data are being pushed to the limits, as demands around hybrid options continue to grow.

Poor data quality and analytics drive down business value. In fact, Gartner estimated that the average financial impact of poor data quality on organizations is $9.7 million per year. But bad data is much more than a cost center. By eroding trust in information, analytics and the business decisions based on these, it is a serious impediment to digital transformation.

Business professionals no longer wonder if they'll migrate to the cloud; it's now a matter of when. The cloud environment has proved to be a major force in transitioning to an agile business model that enables quick decisions and fast implementation that solidify customer relationships. And when the cloud is combined with the power of cognitive computing, it drives innovation and transformation that achieves astounding competitive advantage.

As IoT continues to increase momentum, so does the associated risk. Secure Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) is ranked as one of the most important technology areas of IoT. Driving this trend is the realization that secure support for IoT devices provides companies the ability to deliver high-quality, reliable, secure offerings faster, create new revenue streams, and reduce support costs, all while building a competitive advantage in their markets. In this session, we will use customer use cases...
